Richie Hawtin

“The Antelope Orion 32+ has been a key new addition to my always evolving DJ setup. The Orion 32+ has been stable in all types of late night, dirty and sweaty club/festival environments and has given us more routing possibilities than any of the other devices we looked at in the market place. I’m now excited to start experimenting with the newest Orion HD and bring an even closer connection to my onstage performances and my studio recordings.”
